❝Orihime, I prom--❞
But Rukia couldn’t promise that she’d be fine, that everything would be okay.
It always felt like some extra risk when she was called back to the Seireitei for duty now, like there was something else she was leaving behind -- because she was.
The concept of having real, true, meaningful friendships... She’d been so lost and alone for so long that even having just Renji felt strange. Now? To have Ichigo, Orihime, Chad, Uryu... Everyone...
A soft sigh, shoulders sagging.
❝I do have to. It’s my duty. But...❞ She turns, looking back at her friend with earnest eyes, a soft smile. ❝This time, I promise I’ll come right back, that I wont leave you all here wondering. Okay?❞
